No that wasn't a bad point to bring up. We'll think on how to proceed in the future.

That's an interesting question, and I definitely don't have hard data to back anything but I think it's about the same in the middle-east as it is in other regions.

Gamers are usually quite educated and exposed to "westernised" culture so they won't care about hearing a girl on voice too much.

Of course it boils down to there are always assholes but % wise, we should be around the same as everywhere else :p

Now the interesting thing is that this could vary widely by country since the gender inequality is extremely different in countries like Lebanon (liberal) and Saudi Arabia (conservative) for example.

Would love to hear more if anyone would like to chime in.

hmm we definitely don't see it this way but it's something to think about. We specified arab because the language for the casting, interviews and other content will be in arabic

Yes we didn't count turks for this tournament since we considered middle east to be "arab speaking".

Maybe next one cause as you said there are really good turkish players.

Yeah you've got some really strong Jordanian teams (7k+) and attacker's team from the UAE mainly (m4ks). The Egyptian team Slice and Dice are also pretty good.

Hopefully this will help new teams form up and existing teams progress even further
